摘要:
The present disclosure provides a system and method to configure and operate a residential local area network (LAN) based telephone system. The illustrated system provides a residential gateway configured to receive a telephone call and process the call based on user configured options. The user-configured options can be provided by telephony feature processing modules (TFPM)s that operate in a Session Initiated Protocal Proxy Framework (SIP-PF). The TFPMs can send, receive and process calls and call data to control network devices such as network telephones.

An apparatus and method are disclosed for exchanging content over distinct wireless access technologies. An apparatus that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a multimode access network server (MANS) (102) having a controller that manages operations of a communications interface that communicates with multimode communication devices (MCDs) in a communication system. The controller can be programmed to receive from an MCD status information associated with a plurality of wireless access points (WAPs), each WAP operating according to a disparate wireless access technology, and determine with the MCD a coordination plan for transmitting partitioned content by way of at least two of the WAPs. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
摘要:
A method (300) and system (100) are disclosed to proxy mobile and network originated call sessions. A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a method in a network proxy (102) having the steps of receiving (308) from a mobile device (116) on a data channel (110) of a communications network 100 a mobile originated call to connect to a terminal device, transmitting (316) a first network originated call to the terminal device over a first voice channel, transmitting (324) a second network originated call to the mobile device over a second voice channel, and linking (332) the first and second voice channels. The system may also include a method in the mobile device having the steps of establishing (302) the data channel connection, transmitting (306) the mobile originated call to the network proxy, and receiving and accepting (326, 330) the second network originated call.
摘要:
A system and methods (300, 400) are disclosed for conserving energy in a multimode communication device (106). A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a communication device having a multimode wireless transceiver (202) for accessing a plurality of wireless access technologies (103), and a controller (214) for managing operations of the multimode wireless transceiver. The controller is programmed to enable (300) scanning for a select one of the wireless access technologies when the communication device is near a known location of a wireless access point. An embodiment for a network management system (100) is also disclosed.

A system and method are disclosed for acquiring services on a multiplicity of devices. A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a service management center (SMC) (100) that has a plurality of service centers (102-110) for supplying services to a corresponding plurality of devices (120-128), and a controller (112) for managing operations of the service centers. The controller is programmed to receive (202) from a select one of the devices an identification reference in response to a request for service by an end user, search (210) for one or more services associated with the identification reference, select (212) from the search results one or more services appropriate for the requesting device, and enable (220) the one or more services on the selected device.
摘要:
In accordance with the teachings herein, a wireless access point module having a plug and play feature and an auto-configuration engine may be used to provide substantial benefits to business owners, Internet service providers, and subscribers. The wireless access point module may have memory and a processor configured such that during “power-up” the processor reads instruction from memory and automatically creates a virtual private network (VPN) with a centralized access gateway via a network VPN server. In turn, the wireless access point module may utilize this VPN for subscriber communications.

A method and apparatus for presenting quality information in a communication system is disclosed. An apparatus that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a terminal device having a controlling element for processing Voice over IP (VoIP) data exchanged with a communication system, and a display element that presents one or more quality indicators adjusted according to quality information retrieved from the VoIP data. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
摘要:
A location services controller (104) for locating multimode communication devices (MCDs) (102) has a communication element (302) for communicating with two or more communication networks (106) and MCDs coupled thereto, a memory (304), and a processor (306) for controlling operations thereof. The processor is programmed to request (402) location information of an MCD from at least two sources selected among a group that can include the MCD and one or more communication networks coupled to the MCD, and determine (426) from the sources of location information the location of the MCD.
